MY TURN: Take a stand against bigotry, racism
On behalf of the NAACP Kootenai County Branch, I am writing to address a deeply troubling incident that recently occurred at McEuen Park, where young students from the Coeur d’Alene Tribal School were racially harassed by a group of adults. First and foremost, we stand in solidarity with the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and the affected children, and condemn the actions of the individuals responsible for the incident. Simply put, intolerance and disrespect have no place here.
Sadly, this follows another distressing event where the University of Utah women’s basketball team faced racial slurs and harassment during their visit to Coeur d’Alene. These consecutive episodes highlight an urgent need for change. We cannot ignore these acts of bigotry and must be serious-minded about opposing them head-on.
